Daniel 3:5-10

5that at the moment you 1hear the sound of the horn, flute, 2lyre, 3trigon, 4psaltery, bagpipe and all kinds of music, you are to fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up. 6But whoever does not fall down and worship shall 5immediately be 6cast into the midst of a 7furnace of blazing fire.” 7Therefore at that time, when all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, flute, 8lyre, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe and all kinds of music, all the peoples, nations and men of every 9language fell down and worshiped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

8For this reason at that time certain 10Chaldeans came forward and 11 12brought charges against the Jews. 9They responded and said to Nebuchadnezzar the king: “13O king, live forever! 10You, O king, have 14made a decree that every man who hears the sound of the horn, flute, 15lyre, trigon, psaltery, and bagpipe and all kinds of music, is to 16fall down and worship the golden image.
